3 years old child having swelling on lips when wake up morning and go away after some time at evening swelling on upper lips come again

Dear Verma ji,

Swelling on the lips in a 3-year-old, especially when it appears in the morning and again in the evening, could be due to several possible causes, such as:

🔍 Common reasons include:

• Allergic reaction to food, bedding material, mosquito bites, or dust mites

• Contact dermatitis (reaction to something touching the lips, like toothpaste, fabric, or cosmetics)

• Angioedema, which is swelling under the skin, is often triggered by allergies.

• Less commonly, nutritional deficiencies or infections could also contribute. 

Since the swelling appears and disappears daily, it’s important to:

1. Observe patterns, like certain foods, environmental exposure, or products used around the child.

2. Consult a paediatrician or pediatric allergist, who may suggest:

   • Allergy testing (if needed)

   • Antihistamines or topical treatment (only after proper evaluation)

🩺 Important: Please avoid self-medication. A proper diagnosis will help prevent worsening or recurrence.
